Common Types of Ants in Melbourne

Black House Ants

The most common indoor ant species. Often found in kitchens and bathrooms searching for sugary foods and moisture.

Coastal Brown Ants

Common in gardens and lawns, these ants often build large nests in soil and under paving.

Argentine Ants

Highly invasive and aggressive ants that form large colonies and can spread rapidly between properties.

Carpenter Ants

These ants can damage wood structures by nesting inside timber, especially in damp areas.

How Flea Infestations Start

Fleas are most commonly introduced into a property through pets, but they can also come from:

Previous tenants in rental properties
Wildlife such as possums or rodents
Shared building spaces
Carpets or furniture brought second-hand
Outdoor environments such as gardens and yards

Once inside, fleas reproduce extremely quickly. A single flea can lay dozens of eggs per day, which fall into carpets and flooring, making infestations difficult to control without professional treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does flea pest control cost?

Costs depend on property size and infestation level. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Are flea treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use professional-grade treatments and provide safety instructions before and after treatment.

How long does flea treatment take?

Most residential treatments take 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on property size.

Do I need to treat my pets as well?

Yes. Pets must be treated separately using vet-approved flea control products for full effectiveness.

How long before fleas are gone?

You may see reduced activity immediately, but full elimination may take several days as the lifecycle breaks down.

Can fleas return after treatment?

Yes, if pets or outdoor sources are not treated properly. Ongoing prevention is important.

Signs of a Flea Infestation

Fleas are small but their effects are very noticeable.

Common signs include:

Pets Scratching or Biting Excessively

Dogs and cats may show constant irritation, especially around the neck, belly, or tail base.

Small Bites on Humans

Flea bites often appear on ankles and lower legs, causing itchy red spots.

Flea Dirt in Carpets or Pet Bedding

Tiny black specks (flea faeces) may be visible in pet sleeping areas or carpeted rooms.

Jumping Insects on Floors or Furniture

Adult fleas can sometimes be seen jumping quickly across surfaces.

Restlessness in Pets

Pets may become agitated, uncomfortable, or have disturbed sleep due to bites.

Why Fleas Are Difficult to Eliminate

Fleas are one of the most persistent household pests because their lifecycle includes multiple hidden stages:

This means that simply spraying visible fleas is not enough. Without treating all stages, infestations often return within days or weeks.

Our Flea Pest Control Process

At Trident Pest Control, we use a comprehensive approach that targets fleas at every stage of their lifecycle.

1. Property Inspection

We assess:

Carpeted areas

Furniture and upholstery

Pet bedding zones

Skirting boards and cracks

High-activity infestation areas

We also identify possible sources such as pets or wildlife entry points.

2. Indoor Flea Treatment

We apply targeted treatments to:

Carpets and rugs

Lounge and furniture areas

Bedding and resting zones

Floor cracks and edges

Pet sleeping areas

Our treatment is designed to penetrate deep into fibres where flea eggs and larvae are hidden.

3. Outdoor Treatment (If Required)

If fleas originate from outside pets or wildlife, we may also treat:

Lawns and garden edges

Under decking or outdoor furniture

Entry points around the home

4. Lifecycle Elimination Strategy

Our approach focuses on breaking the flea lifecycle by targeting:

Adult fleas

Newly hatched larvae

Hidden eggs in carpets and cracks

This ensures more complete and longer-lasting results.

Flea Treatment for Homes

Fleas in residential properties can spread quickly between rooms and become difficult to manage without professional help.

We treat:

Bedrooms
Living rooms
Carpets and rugs
Sofas and lounges
Pet sleeping areas

Our treatments are designed to be safe for families while effectively eliminating infestations.

Flea Control for Rental & End of Lease Properties

Flea infestations are common in rental homes, especially where pets have been present.

We provide end of lease flea treatments that help tenants meet rental requirements and assist property managers in preparing homes for new occupants.

Services include:

Full property flea treatment
Carpet and furniture applications
Treatment certification (if required)
Fast booking for moving deadlines

Flea Control for Pets (Important Note)

While we treat the property environment, pets themselves must be treated separately using veterinarian-approved flea control products.

For best results:

Treat pets at the same time as property treatment
Wash pet bedding in hot water
Maintain ongoing flea prevention for animals

How to Prevent Flea Infestations

After treatment, these steps help reduce reinfestation risk:

Regular vacuuming of carpets and furniture

Washing pet bedding weekly in hot water

Keeping outdoor areas clean and maintained

Avoiding contact with untreated animals

Cleaning second-hand furniture before use
